Trigger warning: explaining jokes in way too much detail.
The phrasing is a reference to the “Is this a pigeon?” meme (see: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/is-this-a-pigeon ). This is meant to indicate that this is clearly not egg_irl, but the topic of the original post seemed like something repressed trans people can relate to in hindsight. It reminded me of a common pattern among eggs where there’s a vague but insistent internal voice (not literally a voice, more like an occasional impulse) telling you to do things that you associate with your actual gender, rather than your assigned gender, with varying effects depending on the person. For example, it generally made me feel uncomfortable without understanding why, leading me to assume I simply didn’t like those things, when in fact that was more or less the opposite of the truth.
Anyway, these sorts of things can make the idea of an unknown, voiceless, internal personality separate from your surface-level persona resonate with trans people. Add the fact that when you’re deeply involved in gender issues and transitioning, it’s so much on your mind that there’s a tendency to interpret everything as being somehow related to gender even when it isn’t, and it seemed like a good fit for the pigeon meme.
Is this egg_irl?
ROFL, I always wondered if that was intentional or not. Thanks for solving the mystery!
It’s basically meat sauce between burger buns. I haven’t had one in ages, but they would make frequent appearances in grade school cafeterias and other events involving large amounts of children needing to be fed with low effort. I remember quite liking them; it’s basic, but great comfort food, and easy to eat.
You don’t have to vote for Biden. In the primaries, vote for whoever you actually like. In the general, vote for the Democrats’ candidate (however flawed they may be). In neither case are you obligated to frame it as voting for Biden as an individual.
You can do all that without force push. Just make a new branch and do the cleanup before the first push there. Allowing force push just invites disaster from junior developers who don’t know what they’re doing. If you want to clean up after them, that’s your business, I guess.
Facts. Force push belongs in Star Wars, and nowhere else.
Update: I was right, it’s cozy as fuck.
Also, most of the game is just clicking through dialogue while enjoying synthwave music, which is great for letting your mind escape, but is not for everyone. I’m definitely enjoying it.
I haven’t played it in years, but I remember getting really cozy vibes from “VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action”. You basically just talk to customers and hear their stories while serving drinks. I didn’t end up playing all the way to the end, but I remember it being really chill and laid back.
Come to think of it, since I didn’t know I was trans back when I played it, I’m now wondering if some of the cozy vibes came from diffuse, unrecognized gender euphoria via the female protagonist. Been meaning to play it again to see how it strikes me now.
Actually, this is getting me kind of hype to play it; I think I’ll fire it up.
I’ll second this. Finding it in the sidebar was a great help when my egg finally shattered around six months ago.
It’s like poetry; it rhymes.
Agreed, it was pretty good until then. But the last paragraph is what made it a great take.
Neon Genesis Evangelion came out in 1995.
I got that too (I’m on Android/Firefox). I haven’t found a way to remove it, but you can press and drag to move it around, so that it’s at least out of the way.
Right, exactly what all store owners want. For potential customers to go somewhere else instead.
I was reluctant to watch those at first, for the same reason, but at this point I enjoy making an evening of it.
I mean, if I could shut down my office without getting fired and still get paid, I’d consider it too.
But how would you get all the termites to remain in the house instead of wandering off somewhere else?
Falling in love, maybe.
